Took an age to get him on the park and when we did within a month he was gone. Looked at times a cut above the rest of the team. Probably should have had a much better career but sure he made his money at Real.

Dont know how you think we will all have got it wrong if Monk succeeds. Many on here have been quite supportive. Mainly the usual moaners who have slated the move. In the cold light of day Monk is far from the worst move we could make. Time to support Monk and give DC a bit of credit.

Monk has done well short term at all his clubs even Boro were sat 8th. Not really his fault he got the push at Swansea (a team in decline when he took over ). Birmingham and Leeds more to it than footballing matters. Boro never seemed to gel there. Now are we going to be another short stay or will he get real time to build here and make his mark. Hope its the latter as I think he has much to offer.

Reach always seems to be the one who has to move position. If we let him play in his natural position think we would find he performs week in week out. The guy is are most saleable asset but we shuffle him all over the park.

This is bang on . Monks record stands up way past what we have averaged over the last 20 years. Did a good job at Swansea Leeds and Birmingham. What do people expect Pep or Klopp ?? Well sadly they aint interested. Give the guy a chance and lets see.

So they have agreed to sign him in january and basically Chelsea have said you can go now. No more tales of how he loves this club then. End of day he has probably got a better offer than we could put to him. Does it state a fee ?? Just checked no fee mentioned.

Well wish them good luck. No takers at 5 million not a cat in hells chance at 8 million. Wait till June and see if he wants to sign for us ot not.Its in the Daily Mail though so its probably total boll rocks.
